Description of Work: He cleaned and repaired my 50-year-old Trend Schoolhouse clock, which had simply stopped working. He took only a week to do it and charged me exactly what he had quoted--which was far less than I had paid another clock expert. The clock is working beautifully and Tom is a pleasure to deal with.

Description of Work: After having this clock hanging on my wall for ten years without working |I found out about Tom's Clock Repair ( Owner Tom Scalzo retired ) thru Angies List. Took to the clock to him which is about a half hour drive from where I live. I dropped the clock off at about 7:30 Pm on Friday and was contacted by Tom thru answering machine on Monday at about 9:30 Am stating the clock was repaired and ready for pick up. Tom is a true Craftsman in the clock repair business. Having owned his own business in NYC for many years before retirement.I was told when I dropped it off how much it would cost for repair and was not charged anything above the quoted price. I had previously ( the week before) taken another wall clock |a Seth Thomas well over 75 Years old to him with a broken main spring to him for repair and was quoted $85.00. When I picked the clock up after having it for only three days I was showed the old part as well as the new one.Was given instructions on how to wind the clock and take care of it. Have brought it home and it has hung on the wall since then running better than it ever has . I gave Tom $100.00 for repair and it was worth it. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom's Clock repair for any type make or brand of clock repair, in home or at his home address. I consider the money well spent to have the job done right the first time.

Description of Work: Mr. Scalzo immediately identified our "Russian Railway Clock" as an amalgam of components from different countries. He also, just as quickly, identified the problem with this non-functioning clock and was able to repair it in a few days at modest cost. He is obviously an expert's expert in clock diagnosis and repair. He maintains an inventory of long out-of-date parts, many of which are no longer made or obtainable by any means, and is as such a service of last resort for difficult clock problems. We later brought to him a German cuckoo clock, long-nonfunctional, which he was able to restore to its former functionality by doing a near-total renovation for $275.

Description of Work: I have a grandfather clock that my father an I built from a kit 40 years ago. I told the repair man that clock chimed intermittently and he examined the movement and showed me what was happening, and I could see the normal ware and tear of 40 year old movement. He said oiling the movement would not help, as I always had the movement oiled regularly and I knew it woul not help. So he took the movement back yo his shop to fix the problem.

Description of Work: For sentimental reasons, we were seeking to repair / restore a family heirloom, a non-working, highly tarnished electric collector's clock from the 1920's. As we quickly learned, the repair of electric clocks is a lost art and several clock repair businesses turned us away with no suggestions as to how to proceed. Using Angie's List as a resource, we called Tom's Clock Repair and were invited to bring the clock in for assessment. We met with Tom Scalzo who has been repairing clocks for fifty-five years! We soon determined that Tom has a true passion for clock repair and that he takes well-deserved pride in restoring neglected clocks to their previous glory. Initially, we had the clock repaired, which was in and of itself extremely gratifying. Then we asked Tom to try to restore the clock, which is extremely fragile. We asked Tom to undertake the restoration at our own risk. The result was stunning - the clock truly looks new. We could not be more pleased. Tom brings an extremely rare, old world craftmanship to his work.

Description of Work: Tom was punctual and a blast from the past, 50 years of experience.Showed us how to maintain our grandfather clock and the tricks of the trade. Truly a great experience. He repaired the clock oiled and reset the hammers which were way off. I recommend to anyone who wants a professional
